as you know. this is al jazeera. hello i'm sam is a band this is the news hour live from coming up in the next 60 minutes outrage in beijing as the u.s. approves that $2000000000.00 weapons deal to taiwan. after 4 years of fighting reports the u.a.e. is withdrawing some forces from the haven't. gone from calls the british ambassador to washington a pompous fool after the u.k. envoy said trump's white house was a net plus. so i reiterate here. there is no such plan that instead hong kong's chief executive gives in to protesters and

eliminates the controversial extradition bill. along with sports arena williams just 32 or 12 wimbledon 70 foreign the last hour she's been allison risk increase at all the cool for 24 grand slam title. china is demanding the u.s. cancels a $2200000000.00 weapons deal with taiwan hundreds of anti aircraft missiles a fleet of abrams tanks would be sold to taipei under the deal beijing insists it's a gross violation of the one china policy that's meant to maintain control over all of what china considers to be its territory including taiwan it could further risk u.s. china relations as they try to negotiate their way out of a trade war which is costing both countries hundreds of billions of dollars when

haye has more from beijing. taiwan's military is built on equipment from the united states its main supply of arms announcements from washington of sales are always met by an angry response from china and this was no difference it's a crude interference in china's internal affairs and a harms china's servant and a security interest china is strongly east does such as foreign and firmly opposed to this and has already made a stern representations to the u.s. side and. china regards taiwan as a breakaway province that it will one day retake that threat is why taipei feels the need to regularly upgrade its weaponry this deal may be viewed by beijing as particularly provocative if it's approved by the united states congress at $2200000000.00 it would be the largest since donald trump took over as president taiwan in the u.s. continue to consolidate our security partnership together will guard the democracy

and freedom of the taiwan strait and stability in the indo-pacific region the type of equipment included in the deal is likely to further anger china in a bid to modernize its defenses taiwan will buy and craft missiles and battle tanks the timing of this deal is also likely to be viewed as provocative by beijing it comes amid a truce in a trade war between china and the united states with negotiations possibly restarting next week the u.s. and china have imposed tariffs on each other's goods over the past year but the 2 presidents agreed to pause hostilities when they met at the g 20 summit in japan last month you they also reiterated their close personal friendship which may be put to the test again if this latest oms deal goes through. beijing. let's take a look at how the u.s. has managed to get around the one china policy and keep trade relations with taiwan or the one china policy is diplomatic acknowledgement that there is only one

chinese government and the united states maintains formal ties with china rather than the island of taiwan beijing sees taiwan as part of its territory which should be reunited with the mainland but in $979.00 the us passed a law that allowed it to maintain informal relations with taiwan including being its main arms supplier graham on web is a fellow with the institute of defense and strategic studies the rajaratnam school of international studies he joins us on skype from singapore good to have you with us why is washington go ahead with this kind of arms deal right now do you think. well in a lot of human beings what we're looking at is a very seasonal affair this is this is not new to us last year in september of the ministration actually because of delivered a 330000000 dollars package to our rejuvenating upgrade aspects of these are uneasy

force so that was just about all the year and we saw back in 2015 a similarly sized package packages the one we saw just today of the value of about $2000000000.00 by the obama administration to deliver. an array of sensitive defensive weapons getting us the forgets that the vehicles and so forth so in a scheme of things nothing new and i think what is quite provocative here is the timing of it we've seen this the delivery of these packages packages in the past the time and clearly has the wherewithal to decide when to deliver packages and that the taiwanese relations at what is chosen to do so now we should my mind is intended to send a breakdown message to be aging that the washington government clearly has a lot of talk options on the table and will not be hamstrung by beijing in any way is the u.s. thing your voice had likely to cancel this deal soften it reduce it in any way as

beijing is requesting. not at all whatsoever we've seen this happen over the last few years has done this before washington does not feel in any way that it has to seek the permission of the chinese government to proceed with the arms packages it's in line with the existing i want relations act nor does mention has been in place since 1079 so this is a consistent foreign security policy by washington which in its in its opinion is to maintain sort of a status quo situation in relations not giving taiwan too much military capability to break away militarily but also not having it in a very weak position to people who are run by beijing's army and military forces if the chinese communist party in the city seeks to to to invade island state and to to take it over he said this is basically the u.s. trying to send china a message what about chinese retaliation they can send messages back via different

files north korea trade except for a. definitely which is why i think in the scheme of things this disable rattling beating of chest is really counterproductive at the end of the day and i mean everyone is getting hurt but what's happening chiefly the ongoing attracted trade war between the u.s. and china is hurting everyone on all sides so i think in my opinion this was the necessary move. back in december 25th even when the obama as an instruction launched its package to taiwan the time it should be easy have decided to destroy this package to leave the day and sort of start spending its energy to focus on the ongoing treat dispute come to terms with china are on the go forward but now i think what's happening is a very rapid he really ought to trust specter or seeing the trade war coming to any sort of resolution because china and the u.s. clearly are treating all these issues as one under under one umbrella and is nor

this aggregation of the various issues is basically shipping the tenor of bilateral relations with right now is at an all time low or i will leave it there for now thanks so much. nigeria's national assembly and on the long down after reports of gunfire the violence broke out as a protest by members of the share community was taking place there demanding the release of a leader for him sex act he was arrested in 2015 to more details as we get them. the u.a.e. appears to be withdrawing some of its forces from yemen that's according to media reports quoting senior amorality officials there describing it as a redeployment and insists they remain committed to the saudi led coalition fighting with the rebels in 2015 the rebels are calling for a full withdrawal general a shell has more. after 4 years of fighting reports say the emirates are reducing

their troop numbers to pave the way for what they're calling a strategic redeployment plan in yemen. who's using those opposed to the q a saudi war and say it's a withdrawal a sign that the 2 countries are losing the war. in reality it's difficult to know the exact reason behind the troop withdrawal 4 years since the war began what started off as an international coalition of arab and muslim countries led by saudi arabia to restore the un backed government in yemen has turned into a coalition of true saudi and the u.a.e. bombing yemen and transforming it into the worst humanitarian catastrophe on earth according to the united nations 4 years ago there was almost daily briefings by the saudi led coalition troop numbers were given together with military targets but since human rights violations have emerged and accusations of war crimes have been leveled against the saudis and the immoralities information has been much less

forthcoming. activists have filed court cases in the united kingdom petitioning the government to stop selling british weapons to the gulf countries targets in yemen particularly saudi arabia last month the u.k. supreme court ruled that on sales to saudi arabia were unlawful a decision the u.k. government is appealing. in the united states members of both the house and the senate are demanding that on sale stop true and that according to nobel prize recipients and rights activists who are called carmen is the main reason for the u.a.e. withdrawing troops had to have an agony and there this is a partial withdrawal intended to improve the u.a.e. is image in front of the international community this withdrawal has come as a result of the emirates failure in yemen i'm certain that the u.a.e. and saudi arabia will retreat and shame from yemen after they fail completely there was real pressure from the u.k. on the emirates that forced them to withdraw in order to repair their public

relations image another important reason is the iranian threat if tension in the region continues the u.a.e. would be a prime target. it's not just international pressure that's been applied on the emirates the 4th u.s. backed by iran have proven to be a formidable enemy. taking the war to the u.a.e. they claimed responsibility for an attack on b. international airport last year when an unmanned drone was able to reach its target without being intercepted while debates will continue over the reasons behind the reduction in forces many will be asking after 4 years of death and destruction what exactly has been achieved the un recognized government remains an able to govern with ease maintain control over yemen the only difference is more yemeni men women and children have been killed or had their livelihoods destroyed. by the military spokesman for the who things says they have new weapons to strike

targets in saudi arabia al-jazeera cannot independently verify the images shown in his presentation i have on but it is the recognition drone that can fly over the skies of saudi arabia would a depth of over 500 kilometers as you can see on the screen it is the recognition drone some odd one you can reach into a very deep areas in enemy territory and it is a huge achievement you can transmit everything it recognizes and all the information it collects directly from the operation theatre. co-director of just foreign policy a national advocacy group that played a role in the house and senate efforts to end the u.s. saudi war in yemen he joins us now from washington d.c. good to have you with us 1st of all if we could try and clarify what exactly is happening with the u.a.e. troops in yemen how much of this is a real withdrawal how many troops are they pulling out how many are left

so it's definitely a partial withdrawal they have pulled out of some of the south and her data so we can't say that it's a for withdrawal and they also are taking credit for the $90000.00 troops that they have trained that still exist in yemen. but at the same time i mean you mentioned the withdrawal from the areas in the south there are reports that say well they may have withdrawn forces from places like model but that strengthening and redeploying those forces in places like. exactly this is a partial withdrawal and in no means a full busy pull out of yemen so and that's the advocacy community that i'm a part of in the u.s. is is really pushing for a forward through all of you and the u.a.e. and saudi arabia and is that why we're hearing an announcement like this today is it to try and avoid the pressure building up in western capitals.

yeah exactly i think you see across the board that there you know that there is just so much pressure on saudi arabia and the u.a.e. coalition to end this war we had bipartisan majorities in both chambers of congress recently that just took votes and you know military aid recently there was also a vote in the senate passed with a majority to end the arms sales to both saudi arabia and the u.a.e. so i think this is a desperate attempt by the u.a.e. to try to save face and you know maintain somewhat good relationships in washington because they see them quickly eroding well if the u.a.e. is even just possibly withdrawing some of its troops is that going to leave more pressure on saudi arabia to follow suit then. i think it does further isolate saudi arabia and you know i think in no what

we can all hope for is that they and their rule war on yemen through airstrikes. and you know stop the blockade so you know while it's not a complete withdrawal it does further isolate saudi arabia and mohammed and solomon where does this leave the u.a.e. influence the. various strategic empty ports and key areas through proxies. that's that's a really great question i would say that they still have a hugely strategic influence over the region and so i think they're going to continue to be a problem and as is saudi arabia but i think it is important to recognize that this is a positive step that they have pulled out of her data and we can hopefully get you know back to a 4 cease fire and troop withdrawal from her data which is yemen's largest lifeline

so i think we have to you know see the positive there as well all right thank you for sharing your thoughts on that one has a lot. more still ahead on the news hour including. visits the united states will look at what's on the agenda. how the u.k. plans on preventing 100000 cancer cases starting in a few months but it scored another setback for football fans of ghana this time of the africa cup of nations. now e.u. countries signed the 2015 iran nuclear deal of called for a meeting after to iran's decision to exceed its uranium enrichment in a joint statement they say the foreign ministers of france germany and the united

kingdom and the e.u. high representative expressed deep concern that iran is pursuing activities inconsistent with its commitments under the joint comprehensive plan of action the statement says iran must act accordingly by reversing these activities and returning to a full. compliance without delay. talks between the taliban the afghan leaders have ended with a promise to reduce civilian casualties to 02 day event is expected to lead to more formal binding discussions with the afghan government charlotte ballasts as more from the talks in doha. 17 taliban members and more than 60 people from the afghan government opposition groups of society leaders coming out with a joint communique of 1st time that people from the government and taliban have been in the same room and they see that civilians that civilian casualties should be brought to 0 or that both groups the afghan government and the taliban should

protect civilian institutions we're talking schools hospitals mosques majoris is even dams they say that prisoners who are ill or old should be released and also that women's rights and minority rights should be protected by both groups now this is not legally binding but it does show that afghans from these various groups are on the same page we talked to the taliban spokesperson here's what he said i been very happy that. wants to go there from all walks of life. and just in 2 days we had this huge joint statement i think it's a bit sexist and it is a good news for all the afghans and good news that we are as a nation. who saw this long lasting issue the delegates from the skirt told me that they got to the point where they were able to put forth

a unified statement because they talked about what they had in common and a lot of that came down to suffering when my friend. was mistakenly hit by soldiers. thought 5 he might be he was this somebody that they will see any 2 sons on that was in the school and yes the. one that that take and also young boys of 77 and 8 years old got them back to the participants to vegetables. and. they what are some. quite emotional for both sides the taliban and also people from the afghan delegation as they talked about the suffering but also their hopes for afghanistan going forward now they also say that they want to make this actionable and legally binding yes they are promises but they won't be afghan government involved this hope that going forward this was a good 1st step a positive optimistic 1st step to take it to the next level where this is legally

binding and both groups the afghan government and the taliban are in the same room while the emir of qatar all be meeting the u.s. president at the white house in an hour shift i mean been hammered donald trump are expected to discuss regional security and economic ties the emea will hold talks with the acting u.s. defense secretary on monday at the pentagon the u.s. has deployed extra troops and weapons to the gulf citing what it calls threats from iran let's take a look at how relations are in culture in the u.s. have shifted in recent years after decades of close ties relations took a turn for the worse in 2017 as one dollar trump initially gave his support to a blockade on carter by saudi arabia the u.a.e. . trump has since backtracked and the u.s. government wants to see an end to the blockade that may be a reflection of u.s. interests in the country hosts the primary u.s. air base in the gulf day it is home to 10000 u.s. personnel and to the u.s.

central command for the middle east during the emmys last visit to the u.s. more than a year ago trump referred to him as a great friend. diplomatic go to james bays is live for us at the white house so james from iran to talks with the taliban there's a lot of issues where qatar has influence that a super league can come up in those talks between the 2 leaders. yes as you say it was quite a good meeting just over a year ago but right now the emir of qatar is in a stronger position i think with regard to his relationship with the u.s. than he's been at any time since president trump came into office why well you just have to listen to some of the stories that you've already covered in this bulletin for example those talks with the taliban taking place in doha no breakthrough yet but certainly they've got further than any diplomacy at any stage in what is the u.s.

is longest war over look at the current tension with iran as you say qatar is home to a large u.s. base with many u.s. troops thousands there some arrived in recent weeks at the same time qatar has good relations called your relations with terror and so plays a really pivotal role so i think the emir comes here with lots of cards to play. james i guess they'll be some message back when it comes to the blockade right given the the changing trump position on that issue from the early days we seem to be supporting allegations that carter was supporting terrorism to you know the comments which he made a year ago about how the emir is a great friend of his. well i think this is what the qatar side will want as the payback for all the things that they are doing to help the u.s. is trying to deal with the blockade yes at the very beginning of this

administration there were certain key figures geriatrician of the president's son in law for example very close to the saudis and the m.r. artie's who may well the president may well have done this as well potentially have given the green light to that blockade things have changed different figures are now in trump's inner circle the secretary of state might pompei o i think once all the effort from all the gulf countries to counter iran and sees this blockade potentially as a problem remember too that the blockading countries even though trump maintains good relations with their leaders they've suffered a bit of a p.r. disaster recently you've got that long running war in yemen you were talking about earlier on and the humanitarian cost of it and you've got the death of jamal khashoggi that many observers including a un special rapporteur believe the saudi state was responsible for the right james ways they're marching in d.c. the u.s.

president there was again attacked the british prime minister and the u.k. ambassador in washington after the publication of leaked diplomatic cables which sharply criticized the trump white house says his officials will no longer deal with ambassador kim dark after he called the white house this functional and inept that came in confidential correspondence in a tweet on tuesday the u.s. president said the wacky ambassador that the u.k. forested upon the united states is not someone we are thrilled with a very stupid guy. he should speak to his country and prime minister may about their failed briggs's negotiation i told may how to do that deal but she went her own fullish way or the other able to get it done a disaster exclamation mark i don't know the ambassador but i've been told he is

a pompous fall tell him the usa now has the best economy and military anywhere in the world or i am a hayward has the latest on this dispute she joins us now from london i'm sure you heard me read out the tweet there's a vintage trump tweet material there is it raising any eyebrows in london given that he's not only attacking the ambassador but also the prime minister again . well i think sammy downing street were really hoping that this would just blow over and settle down but clearly it isn't going to do that just yet as you say donald trump tweeting using very very strong rhetoric against not only came in dark but also theresa may describe in darrick as wacky out pompous a very stupid guy this is far from diplomatic language so raising a lot of eyebrows here the prime minister's spokesman has said in the last hour or

so that kim dark is a dutiful respected government official and at the moment there are no plans for treason made to get on the phone to talk to donald trump about this but you know this is between 2 countries that are supposed to be allies yet this is very unfriendly language is ness with some friendly language but let's face it of course there are we know the diplomats the world around make these kinds of assessments and sometimes not very flattering of other countries or even a lot of other allies administrations even if it was just doing his job you got to wonder how long can the u.k. the remain in his position if the president of the united states says i'm not going to deal with you anymore. exactly well we know that donald trump is probably going to make it very difficult for ken dark to continue to do what he is there to do we know he was disinvited to that dinner last night there are also reports that he's not been able to meet a banker donald trump's daughter today and his job is to offer franken on if the

theft meant about the country which he is visiting about the country that he is working in and if he is not allowed to do that then that will make his job very difficult but also if they decide that they want somebody other britain decides they want somebody else in the post who will want to do it if they can't go there to do the job that they're supposed to do. so will be interesting to see how this develops thanks emma hayward from london the last 2 political candidates vying for the u.k.'s top job will face each other in a final t.v. debate boris johnson and jeremy hunt are competing to replace to resume is conservative party leader and prime minister the winner will be picked by conservative party members on july the 22nd take office later this month will then have 3 months to win support for a briggs deal before britain's scheduled departure at the end of october. still ahead on al-jazeera in the occupied west bank for a look at how 15 years on

a separation wall is creating ghost towns lighting thousands of lives in sports and say the world's most expensive footballer can leave the club roles here with that story. hello again welcome back we're here across parts of north western turkey things are going to start to get a little bit stormy over the next few days for istanbul you've had some very nice conditions but that's going to be ending and as you can see for ankara to you've been looking at some very nice conditions here on wednesday with the temps are there about 30 degrees as we go towards thursday notice a storm start to come into play affecting parts of istanbul as well as our and some of the storm could be quite intense with a lot of lightning as well as gusty winds down towards beirut it's going to

welcome back you're watching out to see a time to recap headlines china's foreign ministry is calling on the united states to immediately cancel a potential sale of arms to taiwan the us state department approved the sale of over 100 tanks 250 anti-aircraft missiles and were late to the equipment. the united arab emirates appears to be withdrawing forces from yemen bats according to media reports quoting senior amroth the officials are describing it as a reader. ploy meant. they remain committed to the saudi u.a.e. coalition which has been fighting with the rebels since 2015.

the us president has once again attacked the british prime minister and the u.k. ambassador in washington after the publication of leaked diplomatic cables which sharply criticized the white house branded treason a foolish and called british diplomat kim derek a very stupid and wacky guy. after weeks of mass rallies and pressure from protesters hong kong's chief executive has announced a controversial extradition bill is now dead carry lamb admitted a government's work on the proposed law busy has been a total failure but pro-democracy activists aren't convinced that's the end of the bill mcbride reports from hong kong. after more unprecedented protests hong kong's chief executive henry lamb appeared to yield. with an admission of failure in this handling this controversial legislation she promised it is now dead there are still lingering doubts about the government's sincerity or wariness

whether the government will restart the process in the legislative council so i reiterate here. that is no such that the bell instead opposition to the bill has resulted in mass protests with some violent clashes between a minority of demonstrators and police pro-democracy groups fear the bill would allow china to extradite political opponents from hong kong to face summary justice in mainland courts a claim the hong kong government rejects but carry lymes concession doesn't go far enough for the protesters this week feel safe. secure feel like it's like it's a little. bit sad that if. we cannot find out what if any of the. protesters believe the chief executive

is playing with words and that although her government has given up on plans to introduce this legislation there's nothing to stop a future administration from trying again part of what many people here believe is a gradual erosion of hong kong special freedoms within china the demonstrators are also demanding a full independent investigation into what they claim has been the excessive use of force by the police in breaking down largely peaceful protests. the government's strategy seems to be weathering this period of unrest hoping public support for the protesters will wane and that it's concessions will have an impact this time of kate's. back here you don't handle the crisis play now has to be when the trust of the old and he has failed to do so. on ageing support and all of. them will have to own.

for the pro establishment camp the fact the people have taken to the streets in such numbers. it's evidence that home homes freedoms like the freedom of expression are alive and well. the bad news for the hong kong government the protesters are promising more rows of macbride al-jazeera. russia's parliament is recommending economic sanctions on its neighbor georgia president vellum imposing is against the move in response to weeks of mass protests in georgia against russian influence in the government riot police were deployed on monday to prevent violence during counter rallies and tbilisi. steverson joins us now from moscow so are the sanctions likely to happen. well it's unlikely to happen there is a bit of a dispute here going on in moscow about how to deal with georgia as you said at the state duma has. released

a very strong statement this morning asking for economic sanctions basically that means that wind from georgia and mineral water and money transfer to georgia would be banned but the president says he is doesn't agree with this he said these anti russian sentiments are basically caused by people who don't know their own history and he wants to maintain bilateral relations political tensions have been on the rise in the last couple of weeks it all started with the parliament member from russia who gave a speech from the chair of the speaker of parliament in georgia that went down very badly in georgia were made really anti russian protests and the last weekend a presenter from georgia has released some very insulting comments on president putin on georgian television which went down very badly here in russia the foreign ministry said that basically it's not only the comments that they are very much against but the fact that the georgian authorities have not done much to contain

these anti russian tanti meant. talk to us a little bit about what's at stake here what will it mean for relations for the georgian economy of why the sanctions are imposed. well georgia depend a lot on russian tourists that more than a 1000000 tourists from russia go to georgia every year and that actually that figure is going up so president putin has slammed this travel ban this flight ban to georgia which basically was in fact fighting on monday so they will feel that. tourism is of course of an important source of income but also it is political tensions have a further impact of both countries have a very sensitive a very difficult past in 2008 russian troops invaded georgia and still at the moment 20 percent of the country is occupied by russian troops and then there is this charge and a wish to become part of nato and become become part of the e.u. and of course that is a threat according to russia so basically this is the bigger context of why this

this this little incident basically will blow up so badly all right thank you so much stan vast in the. palestinians say they're being imprisoned in their own neighborhoods by israel's expanding separation wall the international court of justice ruled the wall illegal illegal exactly 15 years ago construction began in 2002 israel said it was to provide what it called that the security of war now stretches more than 700 kilometers in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of palestinians rights groups say it's allowed israelis to confiscate palestinian land to build more illegal settlements palestinians also say the separation wall is a symbol of israeli occupation they are demanding freedom of movement. reports from one palestinian town which is felt the devastating effects of the war. the town of

the northeast of jerusalem has been living in the shadow for 15 years. its economy was booming in the 1990 s. when the town doing jerusalem to many cities in the occupied west bank. it looks more like a ghost town now. since the israeli government ordered the building of the separation 12002 the wall has blocked the town's main road limiting access to people and products hundreds of shops have closed their doors and thousands of people have left carpenter is one of a few who decided to keep his business open but it's very different to when he entered the workshop in the year 2009. no the only carpenters there are him and his partner like the town's economy their business has been cut back. this is one of the most vivid areas. were a few meters away from an israeli industrial area this area was bustling with

businesses and people going back and forth now we rely on a few customers the contrast between the 2 sides of the wall can be seen vividly here and also heard on the israeli side there is the loud noise of construction works on the palestinian side that sides. as palestinians are being pushed out on their side of the wall because of land confiscation more israelis are taking advantage such as. in the north of the occupied west bank. and israeli military order confiscated palestinian lands there for building the wall israelis build a stable on it. palestinian fears have increased since israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced plans to annex parts of the west bank if you died where you had the main goal in the israeli agenda is to grab more vans push more people out especially they sleeping in east jerusalem the wall helps israel build more settlements extending existing ones and consolidate them in the palestinian territory around 65 percent of the israeli separation wall is complete their arrest

is under construction and when it's finished is expected to take up to 10 percent of all land in the occupied west bank many palestinians say the main purpose of israel's policy is to make life so i'm bearable they have no option but to leave me their brain. the occupied west bank now some pain murals whole write messages on israel's separation walls to express their opinions but others refuse to do so arguing it's an unappealing symbol of apartheid sharing that view is an artist from the occupied west bank is his story. my name is. i live in all of them are a refugee camp in ramallah i'm originally from the lead area. yeah who and was it on for him what are the wall is a scary racist symbol it's a massive structure meant to display dominance i find it

a natural human standing there you can't but have feelings of hate and discussed. but very aware that all of it stands between me and the land stands between me and the dream of the other place the limits i should be able to cross naturally it doesn't only separate the geography it also limits our vision it blocks the scene behind it and. in the. arms although for us it's about apartheid for the other it's a symbol of protection and that shows in how the wall is manifested from what i see the wall from the israeli side is designed with mosaic it's lit differently simply made to reflect how they want to show it. on a personal level i think the wall needs to stay grey and ugly it needs to be maintained that it's a symbol of apartheid nothing more if we paint on it we would redefine it.

allowed the stuff is. i find it provoking that the wall provides a public space one that provides great exposure for artists especially with prominent international artists leaving their work there i'm not in a position to judge i can't deny their messages were loud but as a palestinian i see the world differently it is present in our subconscious it's there standing between us and the rest of palestine at least the one that shapes our national identity. for the 1st time the united kingdom boys will also receive a routine vaccinations for the cancer causing human virus or h.p.v. it was previously any given to school girls aged 12 to 13 from september boys of the same age will get vaccinated the government is hoping to reduce the rates of cervical cancer which can be caused by the direct is a lecturer in the biomedical and life sciences department at lancaster university

he says while the vaccination isn't compulsory in the u.k. many parents will likely sign up their voice. that there are some countries where vaccination is mandatory and we don't of course have vaccination for anything in the u.k. it's generally something which goes against our culture really of the or medical procedure should be consensual so i think that vaccination will continue to be voluntary in this country but many boys will take up the offer to be vaccinated because they recognise that it is a good thing it protects them it protects their future sexual partners and vaccines that are injected into the body there in activated or dead strains of whichever pathogen is is being vaccinated against and then it produces an immune reaction which in in the case of some vaccines can be lifelong in others it's a little bit shorter for the h.p.v. vaccine itself it seems as if immunity lasts for something like 10 years after

vaccination. can be given at a later date but at the moment the children are being vaccinated no in school or to have immunity for the h.p.v. until that about 30 years old. legal case kicks off later on tuesday in the u.s. centered on health care it's a republican bang challenge to the affordable care act known as obamacare in 2010 the u.s. extended low cost health insurance to millions of citizens but the program is under threats and the trumps administration. is on the reports from new jersey. kathy feel has a nice view of a small leak near her home she hopes she doesn't lose it she has a preexisting condition called macular degeneration he requires her to get injections every couple months the cost 2000 dollars each visit then i would be opening myself to the hemorrhaging recurring and the retinal scarring getting worse

we're going to get rid of obamacare repeal and replace because obamacare is a disaster for the. ministration has tried to chip away at it which is troubled health advocates this is a national problem and not funding health care not having the s.c.a. or some other option like that we're creating bigger monetary issues over the long run not to mention the fact that they're there just we're not taking care of people we're just. people well why would we want to do that this is a nice place thing out as for cathy she stressed about the thought of losing her health insurance i had the 1st ever panic attack of my life. real survival threat like i don't know what will happen i've never thought before this could kill me leaving people feeling sick about what comes next gabriel is on to.

a really important x. i could say historical in acquited look you feed ma'am him with the agreement shows our shared interest in a paradigm shift which puts human rights at the center of public security forces actions. the united nations sources have told out here at the 3 months on from that deal not one member of the national guard has got that training despite they say un efforts to get the program kick started the fire meanwhile the government's already sent thousands of new national guardsman to deal with a particularly vulnerable population central american migrants heading through mexico. we talked to a dozen guards at checkpoints and patrolling the suit the river which marks the border with guatemala all of them said they had been given some internal human rights training but they know they'll need to learn more on the job. they told us

how to treat the c.b.d. population that week. have to respect everyone's human rights but it's a very short time for trains where here with your eyes closed and we're just opening now we'll have to see what happens. in a written statement 12 to 0 the minutes come for a ministry said the government's been working on how to update the national guard members existing human rights training and on how to implement the un agreements but it's not just the u.n. training that this fool says missing the rolling out the national guard has definitely been a bit odd hawk most of those we've seen here don't even have their new uniforms they still wearing that armed forces gear and some of the country's federal police officers who were due to be drafted into the new force instead went on strike against what they worried would be cuts to their salary and benefits. and every corner that's cut is only going to bring more questions about the government's great hope to tame miscues security problems john home and. up to.
